In a world where love is a risk and trust can be fatal, Carl Grimes meets Maeve, a guarded, knife-skilled, war written survivor with a past she refuses to speak of. When their groups merge near Alexandria. What happens when tension turns to curiosity, and curiosity slowly burns into something deeper.
But survival never pauses for romance. As walkers close in and betrayal brews inside the walls, Carl and Maeve must navigate not only the brutal world around them-but the fear of losing each other. For Carl, she becomes a glimpse of something worth living for. For Maeve, he becomes one of the few people she's ever trusted and she's afraid to lose him.
When war threatens everything they've built, they'll have to decide: in a world built on loss, is love still worth the cost?

The Walking Dead - Crossfire
The world has ended, and survival is no longer just about fighting the dead. In Crossfire, every choice cuts deep - between loyalty and betrayal, fear and courage, love and loss. In a world overrun by the dead, Y/N has fought tooth and nail to survive - alone, after being abandoned by someone she trusted. But everything changes when Rick returns to her life, shattering everything she thought she knew. Now torn between the brooding Daryl and the man she knew from before the world ended, Y/N is caught in a dangerous love triangle, where every decision could be her last. As the group's fragile trust begins to crack, the line between love and survival becomes razor-thin. Because sometimes the most dangerous fight isn't with the dead at all... it's with the living, and with the choices that could tear them apart.
Collision
Imagine a world full of flesh eating, infected corpses. Where the government system is collapsed, society is no longer existent, and shelter is hard to keep for yourself without getting killed. Everything that once was valuable is either torn apart, garbage, or buried somewhere too hard to find. Everyone you meet will either try to kill you, or die once you start to care for them. For some, they don't need to imagine, because this is just the reality. { Ellie x Carl }Complete
